USUALLY on this island

It didn't occur to me until watching a video for a class that roosters crow a lot here. Not just to say, "WAKE UP, BRO!" but whenever they want to. I dunno where all these birds come from.... Maybe they're related to these baby chicks my cousins bought years ago during some Easter special.. Like, if you have a receipt saying you spent $25 at a certain store, you get a baby chick for Easter.

So, anyway, about that video I watched... it was for a class... Had an interview with some fisherman who had tan lines from a "sando" (hahaha, undershirt/wife-beater, whatever the hell you call it on your side of the world), and sheesh, almost every minute a rooster would just crow. I kept laughing whenever that happened.

I used to think someone lived in an "affluent" part of the island, too--until I called him. And during the convo, a rooster crowed. This was late afternoon. I laughed about it when the phone call ended.

So, really, I think if I ever leave this place, I may miss the sound of a rooster crowing at whatever time of the day it feels like. It's an island thing... XD
